Tomorrow I fulfill my sacred duty by visiting wfmu world domination headquarters. In my sleep I will be visited by the ghost of terrible music past, the ghost of terrible music present, and the ghost of terrible music future. I will awaken plastered with food stickers, and foreswear all further contact with Rush.

I don't know what to do with my food stickers so I use them on letters I send to Federal Prisoner, John Kiriakou, but fear it is in bad taste because he complains so much about prison food.

@P-90: It's almost a chicken/egg riddle for me--does Guaraldi help the wintry feel of the Christmas special, or do I think he sounds wintry because I always associate it with that special?

@ M from S: Yes there is no doubt a "wintry" style of playing Jazz, check Brubeck's Christmas concert records, and Guaraldi was hired because Schulz liked Brubeck and Guaraldi could nail it

Tori does a nice version too but it doesn't rock like this one does

I had to see The Runaways movie after Cherie's interview here--great film! Too bad The Runaways themselves never put out a "Christmas Album"--I'd love to see how aggro they'd take the subject!

of course I was in the car when Frosty was playing.... I have to say that it's so odd to hear Elizabeth Fraser sing words. It kinda bothers me..... I dunno..... am I alone in this?

@Meghan: I'm okay when they perform covers ("Frosty The Snowman", "Strange Fruit"). It multiplies their style by applying it to existing songs. But their own music? Just doesn't seem like a "real" CTs song that way.

No they weren't the same without him. But Hynde was certainly inspired to write a bunch of great melancholy pop songs
